Do your friends or family know about your daydreaming? What are their feelings/reactions to it? This is the only place where I can talk about my daydreaming. I've never told anyone and I'd be mortified if my family found out.Continue

I have been spending summers and holiday here at home with my family - who are almost not present - since my grandfather died 2 years ago. So are you also alone during this times?
Wednesday
Rules:
1) Please be kind and respectful.
2) Please try to keep the content positive. Posting of negative content may result in it being removed and/or, in severe cases, your membership being in question. If I feel any content is questionable, I reserve the right to remove it. Please also refrain from talking about sex. This is not a porn site. Please keep all content appropriate for people of all ages.
Ex: Posting your art work is good and encouraged. Posting pics of mass murderers is unacceptable. I have removed such content and suspended members in the past for this.
3) Please read old discussions and add to them before creating a new one. A good rule of thumb for discussions vs blog posts is that if you're just sharing about yourself, that should go in a blog post. If you want to start a conversation, that should go into a discussion. Similarly, introductions should go in blog posts or be added onto previous discussions. Please avoid posting the same thing in a blog post and a discussion.
4) Please allow me to do my job. If I feel you have posted something in the wrong place, I will be respectful enough to tell you. I feel it is the right thing to do. I promise to try and be nice about it, but please don't take it the wrong way and lash out at me.
5) Please refrain from using profanity on here. I will compromise and allow profanity if you star out most of the word in question.
6) If you notice a spammer or someone who has broken one of the rules, please message me, telling me who did it and what they said. You can remain anonymous.
Breaking the rules may result in a warning given, or if the infraction is serious enough or you've already been warned, you may be suspended.

Well, we're still figuring that out. Since this is so new it's kinda up to us to figure out how to deal with it. I encourage people to try anything they can & want to. If something works, please let us know, so others will benefit.
-Identifying triggers
Many people find that
certain activities
trigger them to start
daydreaming.
Identifying and
limiting exposure to
triggers is one way to
help.
Common triggers:
music, tv, books,
long walks or
monotonous activity
-Distraction
If you feel yourself
starting to daydream,
stop and change
activities. Get up and
do anything else and
come back to it when
you're feeling more
focused.
-Getting out in the public
A lot of times we just
need to get out of our
heads for awhile. Go
out and talk to people.
-Get up quickly and go to bed tired.
Many daydream in the
morning. To avoid
this, make sure you get
out of bed the instant
you wake up.
To avoid daydreaming
at night, go to bed
when you're extremely
tired.
-Allow limited daydreaming
Many of us really
appreciate the comfort
of our daydreams and
don't want to give
them up.
Instead, allow
yourself certain times
to daydream, and
force yourself to get
up and stop when
your time is up.
-Find other things you love and focus on them.
Don't forget that we
daydream because we
love it. It may take
time and energy to
focus, but if we can
make the external
world more fun, then
we won't need to
daydream as much.
-Meditation
Another common suggestion that people are saying works for them is meditation. Some have said it helps them focus, even if it doesn't completely eliminate their MD. Some have also said that Yoga and meditation help.
